 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 September 26, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. BICHOTTE HERMELYN -- read once and referred to
 the Committee on Real Property Taxation

 AN ACT to amend the real property tax law, in relation to the collection
 of monies owed for unpaid real property tax liens and water and sewer
 charges; to amend the state finance law, in relation to establishing
 the homeowner protection fund; to prohibit municipalities from convey-
 ing tax liens on real property to any private entity, trust, or third-
 party servicer; and to repeal certain provisions of the real property
 tax law and the administrative code of the city of New York, relating
 to foreclosure of real property tax liens

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
 2 the "community wealth and homeownership protection act".
 3 § 2. Legislative intent. The legislature finds that the sale of prop-
 4 erty tax liens to private entities has disproportionately harmed low-in-
 5 come, elderly, and Black and brown homeowners, leading to displacement,
 6 foreclosure, and the erosion of generational wealth. This act affirms
 7 the state's commitment to equitable taxation, community stability, and
 8 the protection of homeownership.
 9 § 3. Prohibition of property tax lien sales. (a) Notwithstanding any
 10 other provision of law, no municipality, including the city of New York,
 11 shall sell, assign, transfer, or otherwise convey any tax lien on real
 12 property to any private entity, trust, or third-party servicer.
 13 (b) Any existing municipal authority to conduct tax lien sales is
 14 hereby revoked.
 15 (c) No future legislation, local law, or administrative rule shall
 16 authorize the sale of property tax liens unless expressly approved by
 17 the state legislature through a two-thirds majority vote.
 18 § 4. Titles 3, 5 and 6 of article 11 of the real property tax law are
 19 REPEALED.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
